Oakland Hills Country Club Clubhouse Reopening After 2022 Fire

(Oakland Hills Country Club, March 21, 2026)

Bloomfield Township, MI – The members of Oakland Hills Country Club will walk through the doors of their new clubhouse for the first time this April, marking the culmination of the Club’s ambitious “Next 100 Project,” which broke ground in December of 2023 following the loss of its century-old clubhouse to fire in February 2022.

The new clubhouse was meticulously planned to be among the world’s finest in both finish and function, with architectural details throughout that evoke Howard C. Crane’s original design. Standing tall once again is the white, 10-pillared veranda, just steps from the #1 and #10 tee boxes of the South Course, which will continue to host numerous USGA championships in the decades ahead.

“This clubhouse reflects the membership’s deep pride in Oakland Hills, honoring our iconic history while boldly investing in a future worthy of it. It is a testament to the commitment of our members and ensures that Oakland Hills remains among the most distinguished and enduring private clubs in the world,” said General Manager and COO Marc D. Ray.

Oakland Hills’ 110-year legacy and championship history are proudly on display throughout the two-story building, which includes member locker rooms, dining areas, lounges, and a grand ballroom, all offering expansive views of the acclaimed South Course.

The private Club’s new Golf Shop will debut later this month, followed by the clubhouse welcoming members on Easter Sunday, when more than 1,600 are expected for brunch. The following week will feature a soft opening for members, culminating in a Grand Opening Celebration.

During a recent meeting with the membership, Club President Michael Costello reflected on the project, saying, “While championship golf has defined Oakland Hills on the world stage, the true spirit of the Club has always been found in the families, friendships, and traditions shared here. Our new clubhouse ensures that sense of community will endure for generations to come.”
